Desperate people do stupid things. They are in for a world of hurt once all the IG reports surface, plus they are screwed in 2020. They know impeachment is wildly unpopular and close to political suicide, but they got nuthin' else. Sucks to be a Democrat right now.

It is my supreme hope that the fresh investigation can get to the bottom of this grievance.

I think they have got him this time!

Link above. Hearing about to start. Corey is going to have a field day with this.

Staffers going to ask questions -- because the members on the committee aren't smart enough, can't be bothered to do it themselves. 

(Yet they say Trump is the problem with DC :lol: )

Hide, hide, hide. Even breaking the law. 

 

White House refusing to release whistle blowers complaint

The Trump administration cannot withhold a whistleblower complaint from Congress

A NEW dispute has arisen between Congress and the Trump administration over a whistleblower complaint from within the intelligence community. By law, it should be shared with Congress, but the administration is refusing to do so. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) is entirely correct to insist that the administration follow the law. He should pursue the matter until it does.

According to Mr. Schiff, on Aug. 12 a whistleblower within the intelligence community filed a complaint that met the legal description of a disclosure involving a “serious or flagrant problem, abuse, violation of law or Executive order, or deficiency” related to funding, administration or operation of classified intelligence activity. Neither the subject of the complaint nor the whistleblower’s agency has been disclosed, but the complaint was deemed of “urgent concern” by the intelligence community’s inspector general, Michael Atkinson.

Mr. Atkinson sent it to Joseph Maguire, acting director of national intelligence. According to the congressman, a preliminary review by the inspector general determined that “there are reasonable grounds to believe” the information “is credible.” So far, this is how the system is supposed to work under the Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act of 1998 and subsequent presidential directives and laws. Mr. Maguire, the law says, “shall” forward such a whistleblower complaint to the congressional intelligence committees within seven days.

 

So far, that hasn’t happened. Mr. Schiff says the intelligence community’s explanation to him is that the complaint “concerns conduct by someone outside of the Intelligence Community” involving “confidential and potentially privileged communications.” The congressman says he thinks the intelligence community may be covering up misconduct involving the White House or the president. We don’t know. But Mr. Schiff says this is the first time he’s aware of that a director of national intelligence has overruled the inspector general and concealed a whistleblower complaint, for which the director has “neither the legal authority nor the discretion.” And that is suspicious. Mr. Schiff has issued a subpoena and demanded action by Tuesday, or appearance at a public hearing Thursday.

 

 

Acting official, never confirmed, either

Listening to Nadler opening statement. He is lying about Mueller report stating obstruction. Dems read into that report what they wanted to see - not what is actually there.

He did, indeed.

Moscow Mitch took care of those bills! Putin won't find any roadblocks to getting his man back in power if corrupt Moscow Mitch can do anything about it. 

 

 

PS, did you see his wife is as corrupt as anyone would expect her to be?

You mean like this: 

 

“Our investigation found multiple acts by the President that were capable of exerting undue influence over law enforcement investigations, including the Russian-interference and obstruction investigations,” Mueller wrote. “The incidents were often carried out through one-on-one meetings in which the President sought to use his official power outside of usual channels. These actions ranged from efforts to remove the Special Counsel and to reverse the effect of the Attorney General’s recusal; to the attempted use of official power to limit the scope of the investigation; to direct and indirect contacts with witnesses with the potential to influence their testimony.”
